- Abstract
This study aimed to verify the relationship between intimate partner characteristics and the prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual violence against women. It is a descriptive study conducted in a regular-risk maternity hospital in Vitória, state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Partner characteristics were collected through a semistructured questionnaire, and violence was measured by the World Health Organization - Violence Against Woman instrument. Intimate partner characteristics were associated with violence, such as not being the father of the newborn, young adults, having alcoholic and smoking habits, using illicit drugs, and being jealous and controlling. Thus, identifying the intimate partner profile during gynecological and prenatal consultations constitutes an important tool for screening possible risk factors for violence against women.
